The Salmon is the project of a legendary trio of "soul men" brought together to celebrate a long friendship, musical freedom, and creativity. Inspired by the original sounds of reggae, country, blues, and soul, they swim upstream like salmon, against clichés and norms. Their journey delights listeners and transports them to distant, soothing landscapes that reconnect them with the essentials: the love of music. The group consists of three friends with well-established careers: Kiddus I, the reggae legend with an enchanting voice, the "Last Crooner on Earth," hero of the 1977 film Rockers, and a member of the Inna De Yard project; Bazbaz, a French pianist singer-songwriter with nine albums to his credit; and Tchiky, an outstanding guitarist who has been accompanying De La Soul for about ten years. After a first EP released in 2020 featuring the tracks "Enough is Enough" and "The Long Road," and a pandemic later, The Salmon finally resurfaced in January 2022 from the hills of Kingston, where the trio, finally reunited, will make Jamaica vibrate alongside seasoned musicians, both French and Jamaican, such as Delroy Wormbass, Viryane Say, Sly Dunbar, Christianne Prince, Pam Hall, Fabrice Colombani, Fonso, Yann Cléry, David Hadjadj, Flabba Holt, and Style Scott. Their first album is a pure Franco-Jamaican gem imbued with the native land of reggae and reflects the trio's desire to return to the roots of their inspirations.
